Sisterhood Mission Statement

The mission of the Danish Sisterhood of America
is to strengthen, maintain and preserve the Danish
heritage and traditions for future generations.

The Danish Sisterhood of America was founded on
December 15, 1883 by Christine Hemmingsen, a Danish
immigrant from Orup, Denmark. Inspired by the
success of the Danish Brotherhood of America, Mrs.
Hemmingsen established Christine Lodge #1 in
Negaunee, Michigan. The Danish Sisterhood of today
continues to grow with numerous lodges located
throughout the United States and Canada.

The Danish culture is rich – its history long and
distinguished, going back thousands of years.
Membership in the Danish Sisterhood of America is a
wonderful opportunity to connect with your Danish
heritage, learn more about Danish customs and
traditions, and strengthen your connection to Denmark.
A cordial invitation is extended to you to join the largest
national organization of Danish women dedicated to
preserving and sharing these deeply rooted traditions.

2015

Dual citizenship approved by Danish Parliament.
A broad majority of parliament today approved dual citizenship in Denmark.
The new law will permit foreigners to become Danish citizens without having to give up the citizenship of their own country, and it will also allow Danes who have given up their citizenship for another to be able to reclaim it.
The law change is expected to come into force in the summer of 2015
